About this episode
Australian mother-of-two, Erin Patterson will stand trial, accused of three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder, after allegedly serving poisonous mushrooms to her ex-husband’s family members.
In July of 2023, Gail Patterson, Don Patterson and Heather Wilkinson all died, and Ian Wilkinson was left fighting for life after eating Beef Wellington served at a family lunch.
In this episode broadcast journalist Caroline Cheetham and Melbourne based correspondent, Wayne Flower discuss the case and the tight reporting restrictions in place in the run up to the trial which is set for 28th April 2025.
